Some more PR for our hobby folks. My ugly mug graced the front page of the local paper today. :tongue3:

http://www.carynews.com/front/story/12777.html

I had two calls & three e-mails when I got home. Three were for properties to detect, and two were for lost jewelry.
One house is a nice 1910 house that I will detect as soon as the weather cools down.
Thanks for looking.
I'll get my rump out soon to detect again. This heat is killing me! ;D

Thanks Big K.
With my mug shot on the front I'm sure circulation went through the roof for The Cary News. :icon_thumleft:
Actually folks will probably use the pages in their pet cages to catch droppings on. :tongue3:
Hopefully I helped our hobby somewhat with this story. I got a few leads already from it. No Colonial Babes yet though. ;D

Save a little treasure for your neighbor down the road. I haven't seen the paper yet, I'll have to ask my wife if we still have it. Congrats,
